Dhaka Dominators Team Form
The less we talk about Dhaka’s form is the better. The Dominators have so far played nine matches and have won just two. After winning the first match of the tournament, Dhaka managed to lose the next six matches and could further validate the tournament with a win against Khulna Tigers in their latest game. But against Rangpur Riders on Monday, they failed to muster any momentum to lose the encounter. Would the fortune stay in their favour? We will soon find out.

Fortune Barishal Team Form
Either side of defeats at the hand of the Sylhet Strikers, Fortune Barishal have been a team on song in the 2023 edition of the Bangladesh Premier League. They have won six games in eight matches played this season, having beaten every single season, apart from table-toppers Sylhet Strikers.
Dhaka Dominators vs Fortune Barishal Head-To-Head

Dhaka Dominators vs Fortune Barishal Betting Odds
FB to score more than 43 in powerplay @ 1.8 (Melbet)
Fortune Barishal, as a unit, have relied mostly on their batters to set up a proper base and that has now engulfed with the idea of how things would be looking in the Dhaka clash. The likes of Iftkhiar Ahmed and Shakib Al Hasan have made sure that their powerplay dominance has been well and truly established, as the side have collected an average of 49 in the tournament so far. That makes me believe in them for this bet.
Dhaka Dominators vs Fortune Barishal Best batter
Nasir Hossain to be DD’s best batter (Melbet)
Nasir Hossain has been widely touted the heir apparent to Shakib Al Hasan’s mantle. This year, so far, he has proved the lone warrior in the Dominators camp, with the bat, the ball, and in the field. Despite five successive defeats, Hossain has put up a good show from his end, with 320 runs at an average of 53.33. If anyone in the Dominators’ line-up deserves your trust, it is their all-round skipper.
Shakib Al Hasan to be FB’s best batter (Melbet)
Time and again, Shakib Al Hasan continues to deliver—with bat and ball. One of the most consistent all-round cricketers of his generation, he was the standout player in the first decade of the Bangladesh Premier League. So far, it has been his exploits with the bat that have spurred Fortune Barishal on even more than his wily left-arm spin. This year, he has been the highest run-getter in the tournament—306 runs in seven innings at an average of 61.20 with three half-centuries. Betting on him should be a no-brainer for you.
Dhaka Dominators vs Fortune Barishal Best batter
Arafat Sunny to be DD’s best bowler (Melbet)
Arafat Sunny is an ideal left-arm spinner who could munch on wickets like candies. Much like most of his fellow teammates, Arafat Sunny is among the most experienced campaigners on the Bangladesh T20 circuit. He has 133 wickets to his name at an economy rate lesser than seven per over, which is definitely great. In his last eight outings, he has choked the batters even further, conceding at 5.43 to the over, and picking up 14 wickets in the meantime. Even though his side has failed to turn up the volume, there is no shortage of fireworks from Sunny.
Mohammad Wasim to be FB’s best bowler (Melbet)
If there is an area of weakness in the Fortune Barishal ranks, it would be with their bowling department—specifically, with their ability to take wickets. Both Shakib Al Hasan and Chaturanga de Silva have kept the scoring in check—and that, very well. But one player has been rising up the ranks to solve the wicket-taking problem for Barishal. And that has been the Pakistani fast bowler, Mohammad Wasim. In his last four games, the 21-year-old has picked up seven wickets at an excellent strike rate of 12.
